84. I want a T-shirt that says:
Two things people don't want to admit:

1) mother was right about just about everything.
2) so was Jimmy Carter.

11. Screwed.
Arms for Hostages. And 35 years of a corrupt oil policy that is dead ending this country today..... because we invested our national security in an energy policy that benefited the Republican Corporate Oil Party.

22. All true; but to the Morans, my husband being one at times,
He gave away the Panama canal - This thing blinds them totally to the good man that he is. As well as the underhanded tactics by Reagan/Bush regarding the hostage situation, as well as the unsuccessful rescue.

61. What Do You Mean "Gave Away"?
The lease ran out. Remember when we use to be a nation of law and respected international law? Jimmy Carter no more "gave away' the Panama Canal than the British 'gave away' Hong Kong.

he was introduced as a great american, a great president and a great deomcrat.

You can't be a war President Monday and be a peace President the next day.

-Carter has just summed everything up right there.
